#21812 [Opn->Fbk]: Apache crashes when require_once has array in directory name

ID: 21812 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: pmoulding@tedis.com.au -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: Win2000 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip There was some memorylimit crash fixed recently so please try the snapshot. Anyway, about apache2..it's REALLY not ready for production at ALL, especially with PHP. Apache 1.3.27 is the best choice. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 21:53:00] pmoulding@tedis.com.au When I opened the error report, I did not know the error could be deferred by adding more memory. Now that I know the extra memory defers the problem, I can allocate extra memory. Allocating extra memory might not be practical for all people especially those with hosted sites where the ISP restricts php.ini changes. Crashing Apache is also bad form. I know Apache 2 is considered new. Anything newer than Apache release 1.0.1 is too new for some people. A lot of people now use Apache 2 on production servers and PHP 4.3.0 must be bullet proof in that environment by now. I will upgrade to Apache 2.0.44 then test using just 8 Mb and see if the problem occurs. If someone out there knows of compatibility and stability issues with Apache 2, they might like to suggest the best release for use with PHP 4.3.0. I have downloads 2.0.39, 2.0.43, and 2.0.44. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 21:35:00] sniper@php.net So what's the bug here? If you run out of memory, how can that be a PHP bug? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 17:44:35] pmoulding@tedis.com.au The require_once error has not occurred when using 80Mb. The original require structure ended up including every component in the system. I added a few if statements to include only those components required for the script. The original mess might have used up the default 8Mb of memory. My clean version probably uses less than 1 Mb for my code. I am using the PHP binary compiled with all options. I think that comes to about 4 Mb. If that 4 Mb is loaded in to the default 8Mb when running PHP as a module then my original code would have easily used the remaining 4 Mb. Changing the allocation to 80Mb may have, in effect, increased available memory from 4 Mb to 76 Mb. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 17:28:25] moriyoshi@php.net Has the change on memory_limit entry solved the require_once problem too? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-21 21:27:16] pmoulding@tedis.com.au memory_limit = 80M in php.ini fixed the XML process error. It can now read the full XML file without blowing up Apache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
